My Quality Control dept. does a lot of fabric "snipping", can these be sharpened once they start to dull?

I have sharpened mine, and those of the women who work in the quilt shop, by cutting aluminum foil or fine sandpaper. They do cut a lot of fabric before they need to be sharpened however. :-)

No. As far as I know ceramic knives can't be sharpened, they have to be replaced.

NO. Scissors are sharpened at a different angle.. If your scissors are only slightly dull, you can sharpen them by cutting thin strips of fine sandpaper. Cut the sandpaper in thin strips to conserve the sandpaper. If badly dull, you must obtain a sharpener designed for scissors. Never hone, sand or sharpen the inside edges of scissors. You can take off a a burr on the inside edges by laying the inside blade flat on some find sandpaper and drawing the blade off of the paper. Don't slide it sideways

The blades are self sharpening with normal use. If they have gone dull it may be due to cutting paper stock that is too thick. You would need to contact the manufacturer.

one more thing...you can clean these rapidly with rubbing alcohol and i use the fiskars scissors sharpener to keep them sharp, so mine are never "crappy" after I use them. hope all this helps.

I don't think you can sharpen these blades. They don't come out of the housing and the blades can't be separated.

I just have some very sharp knives that I use. Tried using scissors but are not strong enough. Also used tin snips.

Sorry I have no idea. I would imagine you are correct that a scissor or knife sharpener would dull the blades.

Possibly for burnishing, but they are very dull, and wouldn't cut or carve anything more durable than wax or clay without sharpening. (Even then, I'm not sure.)

They are really sharp to start out with and they last a pretty long while. I'm not sure if they can be sharpened, although if they can't be sharpened I'm sure anyone could just replace the blades on then with new ones. I love these knives. Hope that helped in some way or another.

Mine are still sharp, but there in no reason they can not be sharpened. I have full plans on sharpneing them once they get dull; I love these knives. Even ordered more as a gift to family.

Yes, they can be sharpened to your likening. But make sure you know what you are doing, you could ruin the blade.

trim with a utility knife or super shears. I believe they would be too thick at the thick end for scissors.

No. Do not sharpen. You will weaken the leading edge of the blade. The blades cut just fine right out of the box with slightly dull edges.

No they can't be sharpened. Even if they could be it might not be worth it to sharpen them. Might be the same amount of money to just buy new ones.

I was told they stay sharp longer. And if needed the metal part can be sharpened. But I have not tryed.

They have worked on all the tools I have tried them on including scissors. You will need to buy and use the appropriate ones for scissors. After you have sharpened your shears it normally only takes one or two passes the maintain the edge.
